Harvard is significantly different than most corporations because Harvard doesn’t pay taxes.
Yet Harvard is not a typical not for profit either, as you won’t find many non-profits with a $53B treasure chest.

Yes, the majority want a different system, your average person doesn’t really like the fact institutions like Harvard/Yale have a combined ~$100B tax free war chest and supply 8 of the 9 lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court.
